How a Translation Works

A complete walkthrough of the translation flow

You

1

Start

Tap Start Translating or press your Bluetooth remote. The status turns green — Bablix is listening.

2

Speak

Say what you want in either language. Speak naturally — you'll see your words appear in real time as Bablix recognizes them.

3

Stop or Clear

Tap Stop to finish, or tap Clear (double-press the remote) to toss it and start over — useful when speech recognition garbles your words or you want a fresh take.

4

Refine

If you have a Claude API key, Bablix automatically polishes the recognized text — fixing grammar, merging fragments, and cleaning up errors.

5

Translate

The refined text is translated into the other language. Both the original and translation appear as color-coded bubbles in the timeline.

6

Speak Aloud

The translation is read aloud automatically, so the other person hears it in their language. Then it's their turn.
